Watching the game yesterday, i think one thing that hasn't been mentioned much about Aussie is his work rate. He ran as hard as anyone on he team when we had the ball, and when we didn't.

I agree, I was really impressed the amount of times he chased opponents when we didn't have the ball. Unfortunately I think a lot of that running was wasted.

There were a few times where he sprinted after someone who was clearly too far ahead to be caught. He needs to learn when to chase, and when to conserve his energy, ala Davey.

That being said, given his last quarter performance, fitness doesn’t seem like it is an issue

Where does everyone see his future position? Is he destined to be a goalsneak, or might he develop into a midfielder down the track?

    Geeze you talk crap

    Rhino along with a few others were being OBJECTIVE about Austin,s 5 games he has played for the demons

    Nobody here has ever said Austin is a dud

    You should go barrack for Collingwood as that club would suit your one eyed tunnel vision views on football

    Are we forgetting something? You'll always be the guy that rates Bruce as a hack and calls for him to be dropped after he gets 31 possessions, ten of them in the last quarter of the second greatest comeback of all time...

    Glass house?

    I said another wingnut that does not read the thread only just the title.

    Before Sunday he was a fringe player and as I have pointed he stepped up against the Dockers.

    Another vacuous hero incorrectly point scoring off misconstrued hindsight.

    Depends on how YOU interpret the word fringe

    But to me calling someone a DUD ike Yze_Magic suggested is quite differnt to calling someone a fringe player

    But i always considered Austin above a fringe player before sunday, as i said he was the reason and the only reason i made the trip into the game on sunday was him.

    Before Sunday he was the only player who stood up and wanted to attack.

    You may not have used the word "hack" but you have used many others to reflect the same thing. Here is one for starters......

    I have had enough of this pretender. The usual crap from him today. Soft, crap skills, junktime possessions.

    He has a heart the size of a pea. He would be on about $400,000 a year. An absolute joke and boy does it get my blood boiling that this pansy can make so much, and not give a stuff about the jumper.

    Whoever said he should be next Captain, please put ypur hand up in this thread. What the hell were you thinking?

    Keep sticking the pins in the No 32 doll.

    If you are trying to imply that Wonas game on Sunday was a similar standard to his past games... dont fool yourself.

    He stepped up quite a few notches on Sunday. He did some nice things before but he was a far better player out there on Sunday.

    And I wouldnt dare accuse you of flossing when you re-write a bit of history after the event. ;)

    Put it this way-it didn't suprise me that he fired up on sunday-It had been building and was going to happen. Certain people have it, maybe for a short time granted, but Austen has it. I don't want to argue Rhino- we love the same team- Just enjoy the kid while its there Buddy. Nothing in life is solid or forever

    Agree with your sentiments. Its just makes your original swipe silly.

    Lets move on.

    Watching RR's performance in this thread is like seeing someone drown in quicksand, the more he struggled the worse it became...

    Anyay, back to the actual topic...

    Wonaeamirri is a good little player, however I doubt that he'll ever get into the 'elite' class. That's not a problem though because if he continues just doing what a forward pocket is expected (reading the ball off a contested mark, applying forward pressure, creating space and options) then he'll compliment this team going forward beautifully.

    Loved watching his unbridled passion and joy and made Farmer look like the pretentious p**** that he is.

    No I am talking about throughout his entire carreer, as i believed in his magic from round 3 at the cattery!!!

    I wasn't truly sold when this tread first started but i'm well and truly sold now.

    I thought he was brilliant today.

    he needs to start being talked about as a genuine threat to win the Rising Star. He is every bit as good as C.Rioli, especially considering the supply and the forwards he gets to rove off.

    In time, I think that you'll reassess this opinion.

    He's far better than I imagined and has an exceptional future. Leon Davis, who is rightly being lauded for a fine year, has taken until his 9th season to surpass Aussie's year thus far. In his previous 8 years his stats don't measure up to what Wonaeamirri has so far dished up.

    Whilst they bring different qualities to the Dees, I am already certain that Aussie will be remembered as a far superior player to Davey.

    And I am prepared to eat a little humble pie.

    His vision and quick hands in packs was what really impressed me about the kid.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
